Sep. 20—Week 6 is a rivalry week unlike any seen in Wilson County in a long time, if ever.

Friday night, the Blue Devils and Purple Tigers will meet in the regular season for the first time since Lebanon's fabled undefeated 1952 team rolled to a 62-0 victory, and the first game between the two since Brownie Robinson's Watertown team outlasted Clifton Tribble's Lebanon outfit 9-7 in the 1964 Industrial Bowl in Lafayette.
